South Carolina basketball signee James Thompson was arrested Tuesday and taken to jail on charges of aggravated battery and domestic abuse by battery. The Louisiana native, who signed with the Gamecocks at the end of May but hasn’t yet reported to campus, was released from East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Wednesday after posting $10,000 bail.

“We are aware of the serious charges regarding James Thompson and are gathering more information,” read a statement from a USC athletic department spokesperson on Wednesday. “We will have no further comment at this time.”
